Mansfield, MA The cannabis industry has given Vantage Builders the opportunity to work with many exciting canna-preneurs and bring their visions to life. The firm recently helped reLeaf Alternative open its first cannabis dispensary, which is also the first for the town.

Vantage reconfigured two previously separate retail stores into a single location, taking advantage of the larger footprint to create an open, almost spa-like atmosphere that reflects reLeaf’s mission to provide quality education, experience and service in a safe environment.

Interesting design and structural elements emphasize both style and functionality. Clients enter the main dispensary floor from the reception area by way of an inset, hidden door. The 3,350 s/f dispensary features customized millwork throughout, including an intricate, wood-and-green honeycomb wall, while custom-made display tables showcase reLeaf’s organic products.

Because reLeaf’s suite is sandwiched between two occupied, active stores, the Vantage team coordinated work hours with the building’s landlord and the business owners to minimize disruptions. The project team included Caveney Architectural Collaborative.
